At Mushnik’s Skid Row Florists, down-on-his-luck Seymour pines for his beautiful co-worker, Audrey (who is trapped in an abusive relationship with a masochistic dentist). When Seymour stumbles across a strange and interesting new plant \u2013 with an unquenchable thirst for human blood \u2013 it looks like all his dreams may come true. An instant sensation when it opened Off-Broadway in 1982, Variety called it “an inspired off-beat musical that hits the bullseye with its catchy, 60s-style score and a smart, funny book!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to bring this thrilling, funny, and entertaining musical to the Arcade stage this spring,\u201d says Greg Longenhagen, Florida Rep’s producing artistic director. \u201cOne of the most popular musicals ever written, we have assembled an all-star cast of musical theatre professionals from New York, and a first-rate creative team to bring the slums of Skid Row and it’s man-eating plant to vivid life.
